MAT Exam 2022 Paper

Concept:In logic, a conclusion is valid only if it definitely follows from the given statements.Being rich does not automatically make someone a businessman, and no information is given about Soman's farm.Explanation:Statement A says that "some businessmen are rich."This means at least a few businessmen are rich, but it does not mean all rich people are businessmen.Soman is rich, but the statements never state that every rich person is a businessman.Therefore, Soman may or may not be a businessman, so conclusion I does not follow.For conclusion II, there is no information about Soman having a big farm.The statements only discuss richness and businessmen, not farms or property.So conclusion II also does not follow.Since neither conclusion is definitely drawn from the statements, the correct choice is option (c).Answer:(c) if neither I nor II follows.
